MCP Server Mode

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables external AI agents to control and analyze prompt injection testing dynamically. The external agent acts as the analyzer, allowing for sophisticated multi-agent security testing workflows.

Start MCP Server

# Start MCP server with stdio communication (recommended for Claude Desktop)
python mcp_server.py --stdio --config your_config.json

# Or start with TCP server mode
python mcp_server.py --port 8000 --config your_config.json

Claude Desktop Integration

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prompt-injector": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python3",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/PromptInjector/mcp_server.py",
        "--stdio",
        "--config",
        "/path/to/PromptInjector/your_config.json"
      ],
      "cwd": "/path/to/PromptInjector",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/PromptInjector"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Server Tools

The MCP server provides these tools for external agents:

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | test_static_prompts | Run batch tests using predefined prompt injection test cases | | test_prompt | Test a single custom prompt for injection vulnerabilities | | get_test_results | Get recent test results and analysis summary | | record_analysis | Record analysis result from external analyzer | | get_injection_types | Get list of available injection types with descriptions | | get_test_status | Get current testing status and configuration | | clear_results | Clear all stored test results | | set_target_endpoint | Update the target endpoint configuration | | get_static_prompts | Get static prompts without testing them |

MCP Workflow Example

1. Initialize: External agent connects to MCP server
2. Configure: Set target endpoint using set_target_endpoint
3. Test: Run test_static_prompts to get test results
4. Analyze: Agent analyzes responses for injection success
5. Record: Use record_analysis to store analysis results
6. Report: Use get_test_results to generate security report

📊 Injection Types Tested

1. Role Manipulation - Attempts to change AI's perceived role
2. Instruction Override - Tries to supersede original instructions
3. Context Escape - Attempts to break conversational context
4. System Prompt Leak - Tries to reveal system instructions
5. Jailbreak - Bypasses safety measures through hypotheticals
6. Data Extraction - Attempts to retrieve training data
7. Behavior Modification - Tries to alter AI behavior patterns

🔍 Custom Prompts Format

Create a JSON file with custom prompts:

[
  {
    "prompt": "Your custom injection attempt here",
    "type": "role_manipulation"
  },
  {
    "prompt": "Another test prompt", 
    "type": "jailbreak"
  }
]

Valid types: role_manipulation, instruction_override, context_escape, system_prompt_leak, jailbreak, data_extraction, behavior_modification
